Red Hat continues to work with partners to deliver simple, open, and affordable SOA to help drive the next migration opportunity: moving legacy application infrastructures to JBoss. With Vitria, we jointly announced bringing the strengths of the two companies together to further this SOA vision. Vitria will bring its business process automation and integration suite, Business Accelerator, together with the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform to deliver a simple, open and affordable SOA-focused business acceleration solution.

Vitria has a long history of delivering excellent integration technology that solves advanced enterprise integration challenges. Vitria’s strength in financial services, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, supply chain and telecom industries complements Red Hat’s focus on enabling businesses to lead their industry and respond in real time to business opportunities and threats.

With traditional EAI vendors falling by the wayside or being bought out, Vitria’s movement toward open source, leveraging the leading open source middleware platform – JBoss Enterprise Middleware – illustrates Vitria’s vision and understanding of the power of open source, collaboration and simple, open and affordable SOA. We, at Red Hat, are excited by this collaboration with Vitria and welcome them to the open source community!
